BERKUT SU- 47 In Service WHAT IF HobbyBoss 1:72

Berkut is an iconic craft . This is quite a kit in 1:72 , at 34.3 cm she is as large as 1:48 scale RAPTOR ! She is painted in a variation of blue / aubergine modern scheme , but I added dark and mid grey splinter pattern . After a few weeks I realised you couldn't see the pattern very well so I painted some shadow around the shapes too . she carries 2 cruise missiles ( scratch - built from drop-tanks .) 6 air to air and a targeting pod. HOBBY BOSS kit highly recommended , no filler and brush painted . Decals were a nightmare and fragmented . Full size BERKUT prototype has been partly refurbished and has been spotted on static exhibit , in Russia , where she caused quite a stir , will she ever fly again ??
